Subject[PATCH] rds: ib: force endiannes annotation
Date
While the endiannes is being handled correctly as indicated by the comment
above the offending line - sparse was unhappy with the missing annotation
as be64_to_cpu() expects a __be64 argument. To mitigate this annotation
issue forced annotation is introduced. Note that this patch has no impact
on the generated binary.

Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@osadl.org>

Problem located by an experimental coccinelle script to locate
patters that make sparse unhappy (false positives):
net/rds/ib_recv.c:827:23: warning: cast to restricted __le64

Patch was compile-tested with: x86_64_defconfig + RDS_RDMA=m

Patch was verified not to change the binary by diffing the
generated object code before and after applying the patch.

Patch is against 5.1-rc6 (localversion-next is 20190426)
